THEIR POSTERS HAVE been knocking around Dublin city since last November but they still can’t get their spelling right.
Fianna Eireann maintain they are a group open to teens from 13 to 17 years (over-18s get to join their ‘Senior’ section). They are interested in marching to a fife and drum band, visiting sites of historical interest, fundraising and political protests. Oh, and in commemorating “Ireland’s fallen heroes” and campaigning “for an end to British rule and a united Ireland”.
We can just about live with the jackboot, beret and aviators uniform. But does the future really belong to a “Republican Youth Movement” that can’t spell “independent” correctly? The sceptics are right: educational standards in this country have gone right down. Young people today, etc.
